RP INTEREST AND FEEDBACK REQUEST

---

Please provide as much detail as possible.
RP's Overarching Concept: Inept British cops search for a serial killer in a tale full of mundane police work, car chases, and explosions.
Genre/s: Comedy, mystery, action
Character or Faction Based: Character
Detailed Description: The village of Sandford is statistically the safest village in England. However, it also has the highest accident rate. Now, ever since some hot shot Sergeant from London was transferred, he's insisted on investigating each incident as a murder. So, now you must decide whether this investigation is a wild goose chase, or for the greater good.

Need Help With: Checking for interest.

Hot Fuzz! My favorite.

I finally gave in. A basic idea.

Frontlines Fuels of War-The aftermath.
World War Three is over the Western Coalition victorious. What left of Earths oil is under their control. Through that within it's self is a problem

With oil running out so is fuel. Fuel is heavily rationed and is almost exclusive to military and government personnel. Power outages are common with many homeless or struggling to survive. Rebellions are common and humanity is at the breaking point.

That's were we come in. We are the 145th Special Operation Group, known as the Specters. The elite. We are trusted with quelling rebellions and stopping terrorism before it is even thought of.

Have a bit of The Division's theme.

Then again, we don't really need deadly disease in order to make the RP attracted, but only if the disease has connection to the main plot, then it is needed.

I'm not going to add a deadly disease.

Of course judging by my playthrough both sides liberally threw nukes at each other.

To Shred an Empire

Hello! This is your friendly neighbourhood NDH with an RP... well, more of a joint storytelling/worldbuilding effort in the spirit of Game of Thrones/Pillars of the Earth/Saxon Tales/The Witcher/Dragon Age etc. We would be playing a noble House in the Empire of Pandyssium where the Emperor died in an accident without any legitimate heir, destabilizing the Empire and letting the realms and lords plot for power, independence or what you decide your House strives for.

While it is a faction/nation RP, it will be heavily focused on the characters, exploring their thoughts, feelings etc and not purely a medieval/fantasy nation hack'n'slash.

These lands have always been troubled... ever since the first realms of elves and dwarves fought for dominance, ever since the collapse of the Elven Empire, and ever since, these lands have always been divided, be it by race, by culture and by greed. Many would-be conquerors learned the hard way that Pandyssium was not prone to peace and unity. Yet, for the last 437 years Pandyssium has been under a single banner, been driven by a single purpose and followed a single leader. Indeed, great men have always strived to do the impossible, and the name of this particular man was Titus Rahtis. A military and poltitical genius who brought the warring nations of Pandyssium to heel, conquering them one by one. Does the end always justify the means? Does the death of hundreds upon hundreds of thousands somehow means less in exchange for achiveing more or less, lasting peace? Lasting peace is a noble goal but when does the blood price become too much? Regardless of what one may think of it, he brought peace forcibly to Pandyssium, and became Emperor of his newly forged Empire and so, Titus Rathis would forever be known as Titus the Great, 398 years after his death, all men, women and children across Pandyssium, elf or orc, noble or beggar, still speak his name. His line, the House of Rathis has ruled the Empire built by their forbear ever since, for better or worse through war and peace. Through ages of gold and ages of ash.

The House of Rathis has a long history, known far and wide across the world through the deeds of Emperors and Empresses both great and good, managing to hold their diverse Empire together for over four centuries through cunning, negotiation and when honeyed words or poisoned wines had failed, through sheer brutality. Bolstered by centuries of relative peace on the continent of Pandyssium, a developed and robust military, and thriving commerce between ethnically diverse provinces, the Rathis Empire was a leading political, economic, and cultural force in the world. The line of Titus Rathis ruled with relative peace and prosperity, but within 50 years, mismanagement and political infighting become the norm. In more than one case, wars are fought over the throne, including for example the War of the Bleeding Heart. Periods of internal strife came in between decades of peace and growth and the occcasional war with foreign powers such as the Empire of Augrilac.

For the last decades however the Empire has been in a period of decay. Emperor Silus was a drunkard, as long as the roast suckling pigs were delivered to his tables and the exotic courtesans to his bed he was happy as could be, his son Emperor Pelagius was not much better, the grandson howver... His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Orius was certainly an exceptional persona when compared to his father and grandfather. This Emperor of Pandyssium, Lord Paramount of Pandyssia, Sovereign of Pontium and Makhras, and Senior Protector of Angren, Riverdell and Ellander was a firm and decisive ruler, as perhaps one should expect from someone so abundantly titled. He was the kind of man who, when hit, made a sound suggesting he was forged of steel and not molded of bird dung. Being unmarried, he led a rather casual private life. And his unfortunate death caused by riding over a cliff while hawking has made the realm's future uncertain as he has no trueborn children. There is of course his first daughter, Cassyndra, fathered upon a common serving wench that the Emperor took away from the mother and raised as his own, but never legitimized. A pretty twenty-and-two year old girl with green eyes and dark red hair. The girl is however mentally retarded, much closer to a child then a young woman in her mind. Yet, Cassyndra is not the late Emperor's only child. There are two small childern, a son and a daughter, fathered with his noble-blooded mistress and living with their mother in her castle.

Now, as the Emperor's body has been carried back to the Imperial Palace the noble houses of the Empire, both great and small have begun plotting and scheaming, shapening swords and daggers, a time of great turmoil is doubtlessly descending upon Pandyssium, and much blood will have flowed before it is at an end...

Welcome!

Track down enough dakka then.
It would be fun to have the RP based around something that the RPers know is inherently nonexistent, IMO.

I'm trying to narrow down the list of cryptids to 5 or so, and then using a random number generator to do the rest. I've got El Chupacabra, whatever "Julia" is, and then I'm throwing in the Yeti. Got any cryptids you'd wish to nominate?

Err, leprechauns?

Because I'm Australian, I may as well nominate the bunyip.

The Julia thing was a reference to King Kong...

[Rupudska]

I wonder, how many people that aren't Zark would be interested in a One Piece RP?

[Adin]

So, who would be interested post-apocalyptic Rp?

[Corvus Metallum]

I wonder, how many people that aren't Zark would be interested in a One Piece RP?

I used to watch One Piece as a kid, but I really don't have enough interest (or knowledge of the series) to make an effort in keeping up with it.

[Hornesia]

So, who would be interested post-apocalyptic Rp?

You need to be a little more specific than that.

[Adin]

So, who would be interested post-apocalyptic Rp?

Just wondering mate.

It is a fallout inspired Rp, but things have taken a twist. The world nuked itself and the radiation quickly subsided with plant and animal life still milling about. However, there has been mutations to these creatures which I need help with and humans also have some mutations. The Rp is set 15-23 years after the nukes fell and mankind is very slowly starting to rebuild forming small nations. You are either a single characters, multiple characters, a group, a faction, or a nation. This is as much as I got thus far, but who would be interested?

[Zeinbrad]

Hey, who's interested in an FT RP?

We need to know what's about. Putting FT/Sci-fi/Gogetanicedinerwithnightkil are not going to get most people in your RP's.

[Ammar]

Been watching "The Strain" have we?

Or Hellsing. [/sublimalmessaging]

Playing a Vampire deck in Yugioh actually.

[Enid Blyton]

I was planning on doing a universal sort of cross-over scifi RP with elements from existing fictional stuff like Warhammer 40k/Mass Effect/Star Wars/Starcraft/Doctor Who etc etc....

Its more character-based adventure type then faction-based but RPers will ofc be allowed to create their own space factions/empires/civilisations and the like. Basically its centred around a time when Humanity is trying to create a universal intergovernmental organisation (a galactic-wide version of the U.N....think Citadel or the Galactic Republic) trying to unify various xeno races together with theirs and enforce law and order across the Milky Way. As a stepping stone Humanity and their current star-faring allies construct an advanced military academy (something like the Battle School from Ender's Game) whereby they will train the next generation of humans and aliens to fight the good fight and protect the Milky Way galaxy from the unknown dangers residing OUTSIDE of it.

(*Note: This will definitely not be a superhero/villain RP ofc but characters will have some special abilities maybe)

So will anybody be interested in a thread like this?

[Altito Asmoro]

I wonder, how many people that aren't Zark would be interested in a One Piece RP?

I am starting to revitalize my One Piece knowledge, as I stopped watched One Piece after Kingdom of Alabasta Arc. Which is very old.

I'll interested.

Oh God man, you've got a shitload of things to catch up to.

[Ravenflight]

Hey everyone, Raven here. My dream is to create a rp based on technology and how it will effect the world, this can range for FPS' to the next internet. So I have a question for everyone who views this, how would you feel about a rp not based around a highschool or the world on 36 years but technology, how its created and again how it effect the world. I will be 100% honest ok, I don't know where this is going to go I just enjoy the ride. So yes either TG me or reply to this. Thank You.

Oh man, if you're that far back, you're 51 volumes, 529 episodes, and a few movies behind.

You may as well read the manga instead, it's much faster.

So I've been working on the Frontlines RP and I'm stuck on the history. Anyone mind helping?

How can you possibly be stuck on the "history" in an RP you're explicitly basing off of an already-created narrative?

Thing is, it's the post-WW3 history I'm stuck on. The game ends with the capture of Moscow and there's no sequel or books on it to my knowledge
